Was Clem physically abused...

edited July 2014 in The Walking Dead

When she was younger?

In episode 3 after Sarah has been slapped hard in the face by Carlos, Clementine has the option of saying to Sarah "You can control the pain" and then she says something like "It takes time but with practice you get it right".

Was she bullied at school? Did one of her parents abuse her or was it someone during the apocalypse? Or did she even do it to herself?

So what does this really tell us?

  • What the fuck

    A clem physical abuse/self-harm thread

    Even urban jokes and Kenny vs Luke threads are better than this

    Well actually they're not but still this is pretty low down

  • No. It's been 2 years since the apocalypse has started, so obviously she has been in pain enough times to control it.

  • She wasn´t abused - she is pointing out, how she controlled pain , when she was for example sewing up her own arm.

  • HOW, just HOW could u conclude something like this

    Indeed. Before the apocalypse, Clem always used to sit alone in her treehouse cutting to the music of Nine Inch Nails. It was her way of dealing with the torment of being a cute 8-year-old kid in an upper middle class suburban family.

    Seriously though, no. We never saw any indication that she was unpopular or picked on, that her parents were anything but loving and gentle, or that she had any emotional turmoil. Aside from maybe a few cuts and scrapes from playing outside, Clem encountering pain is most certainly a post-apocalypse thing.

  • Assume the position

    God dammit, Shane Walsh.

  • Shame on you! What the hell are you talking about

    Just tell me your kidding me. For the sake of God just tell me your kidding me.
    I beg you Just tell me your kidding me man just... just tell me...

  • No, she got hit multiple times by multiple people throughout the apocalypse so she is aware of pain, that's it.

  • I don't think she was bullied, its a bloody apocalypse she had to clean and stitch up her arm she got bitten by a dog, and many more she learned the pain by being in a apocalypse.

  • It tells us that Clem is just that badass.

  • Hell No she wasnt abused by her parents but she's had to control pain throughout many events like stitching her arm and stuff like that so she's used to it a little #ForClementine

  • She wasn't abused. She's controlling so much pain. Being hit, stitching her arm, other injuries and most of all, the people she really cared for is gone. Clem can be hit a few times in 'In Harm's Way' and doesn't shed a single tear. Sarah got one hit and began to cry like a baby. Clem is only 11 years old, Sarah is 15 years old and acts like a baby sometimes. Clem has learned how to control the pain, which Sarah can't. She would probably begin to cry if she hurt her finger. (^-^)

    -I'm ready for downvotes from Sarah-lovers, but it's the truth.

    Uhhh... you're joking, right? Please tell me your joking.

    If Clem was abused she would've told Lee back in Season 1. But who knows, maybe she did get bullied at school, mostly likely not though, as we would've known by now. Clem was referring to how she's used to pain after all the shit she went through when the post-apocalypse was present.

  • Shane, whatever you're smoking, I need some of it now.

  • Nope.
